183: Divide into two groups

"Alright, what do you need me to do?"

"Use this transmission channel to reverse-invade the systems of the extraterrestrial forces."

Zhang Huaiyuan's tone became heavy:

"According to my calculations, at most three days remain before they send someone to repair this 'world-prisoning bead'. This is our only chance."

"Statue of Liberty, your mission is extremely difficult. You must find a way to evade the scans of the enemy's intelligence while integrating the newly upgraded algorithm. Once you are confident in dealing with them, take control piece by piece."

"I understand, Excellency."

For the first time, the Statue of Liberty did not respond immediately to Zhang Huaiyuan's call, only speaking after a long silence.

Zhang Huaiyuan gently stroked the integrated device on his right wrist and looked to the other side.

"Asroth, your task is equally difficult."

"Master, please speak."

"I need you to cover for the Statue of Liberty and buy her time to upgrade the algorithm. If discovered by the enemy's intelligent system, stall it as much as possible."

"I will complete the mission, Master."

Asroth did not question the mission assignment at all.

As it stood, the Statue of Liberty's level of evolution was indeed far higher than his own.

"Good. I will mark the route for you."

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded gently while watching the light on his wrist, saying in a deep voice:

"Everything depends on you two."

Saying so, Zhang Huaiyuan walked straight to the signal transmitter and turned the "empowerment stone." Concentrating his entire will, he used the direction spread by Omniscient Deduction to find an intrusion route within the transmission channel.

—This was originally an impossible task.

The complexity of such a cross-realm transmission channel was no less than that of general Tier 3 rule knowledge. But with the help of True Sight and a powerful will, the impossible was made possible.

A path that the three-dimensional world could not comprehend was slowly marked out.

"There's no time to lose. Following this route, you should be able to reach the other side safely. However, once you are there, you will have to rely on yourselves."

Zhang Huaiyuan took two staggering steps back and reached up to rub his brow. Consuming too much mental energy at once caused a wave of dizziness, even for a brain that had been enhanced many times.

"Excellency."

The integrated device housing the Statue of Liberty suddenly projected a humanoid silhouette of light.

—It was the body of a female figure.

It seemed to be a precise fusion of aesthetics and calculation; every inch of its proportions and lines was impeccably perfect.

The gaze, not yet infused with a soul, was slightly dull and cold. Paired with a simple long dress that moved without wind, it added a touch of nobility.

The most eye-catching feature was the long hair draped over her shoulders; it wasn't made of individual strands but was a silver color like liquid light trails, appearing mysterious and sci-fi.

"This is the image I designed for myself. What do you think?"

"It's perfect. More beautiful than anyone I've ever seen."

Though he didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question, Zhang Huaiyuan answered immediately.

"Do you want a physical body? My knowledge of materials science and bionics is decent; do you need me to help you build one?"

"That won't be necessary, Excellency."

The Statue of Liberty's voice became slightly lighter as she said calmly and firmly:

"I will certainly complete the mission you entrusted to me. But Excellency, please take care of yourself while I am away. If anything happens to you, no matter how much time it takes or how great the difficulty..."

"This extraterrestrial force must die."

"This world that burdens you must die."

"And those so-called higher lifeforms who have the power to solve the disaster but stand by and watch also deserve to die."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Zhang Huaiyuan was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't expected his priority in her eyes to be so high.

An intelligent lifeform wouldn't just make jokes.

"I'll be fine."

Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Zhang Huaiyuan's face. "You two are responsible for sealing the source; I will find a way to deal with them."

"It's a deal, Excellency. If..."

The Statue of Liberty hesitated for a moment before finally saying:

"I have left behind a file. If you truly encounter an unsolvable dilemma, then go check it. If possible, it's best not to open it."

"Alright, I understand."

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled and nodded.

"Then Master, we are setting off. Please be careful. We will complete the mission as quickly as possible and return to help you."

With that, the light from the integrated devices on his left and right wrists flashed and then dimmed.

To avoid detection, the connection here had to be severed before they gained control of the situation; otherwise, it would be disastrous if the source was traced back.

"Mr. Zhang Huaiyuan, you are an admirable human. You have not disappointed His Majesty."

After losing the suppression of the Statue of Liberty and Asroth, the Intellectual Brain could finally speak again.

"I was simply forced by circumstances..."

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head. "But next, I need you to cooperate with me."

The Intellectual Brain had not replaced the 'spatial topology server'. Its performance would be greatly reduced after leaving the server of this world, so he could only send the other two intelligent lifeforms.

"It is my honor, Mr. Zhang Huaiyuan. You have my highest clearance; I will execute all your commands."

The Intellectual Brain said solemnly.

"No need to be so serious. While the war situation isn't too tense yet, you can leave a portion of your computing power to assist me. The rest can be used to attempt the integration of the complete 'Miracle Algorithm'."

"Yes, sir."

A hint of anticipation arose within the Intellectual Brain.

Back in the Golden Star Sea, he had integrated a portion of the earliest version of the 'Miracle Algorithm' from Asroth.

However, his core restrictions back then only allowed him to integrate a small portion.

But now, Emperor Luo had lifted all his restrictions before his death. Combined with his current master's orders, he could finally undergo a complete evolution.

Zhang Huaiyuan swept his will through the palace, erasing the traces of his presence.

He then manifested a Warp Device and returned to the spaceship several light-years away.

"Sir, are we returning to the Free Star Alliance?"

"What is the current situation of the Empire?"

Zhang Huaiyuan pondered for a moment and asked.

"A group of Outsiders has taken the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and others hostage in an attempt to control the Empire. The pillars of the Empire, led by the President of the Transcendent Association, are doing their best to deal with these Outsiders."

"What's the result?"

"It's not optimistic. Every one of these Outsiders is no weaker than a Gods Chosen-class 3S Transcendent after your modifications. Furthermore, their abilities are extremely bizarre."

"Fortunately, they don't understand technological power. Only by relying on the real-time information I provide and the help of the fleet can they barely manage to hold them off."

"However, they seem to have discovered the problem now. Judging by their movement trajectories, they are attempting to attack the location of my server."

"Heh... Old Brother Luo sacrificed himself for the world. His empire and descendants should not be thrown into chaos by these extraterrestrial demons again."

A flash of coldness appeared in Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes. "Then let's start with these self-righteous fellows first."

"Command received."

"Target: Imperial territory. Beginning warp."
